#2I was waiting for this, knew it was only a matter of time before Microsoft came out with something like this since it's right in their field of office products.
Hopefully this is the catalyst needed to create better work/life balance and lower the barrier for remote work and make it just as productive as being present in the office.

#4I don't understand why they need to pretend to support features they haven't developed. It makes something that is obviously advanced feel cheaper and fake in some way. The daughter is obviously a recording, but they call it "live", say she can't hear him, then he gives her audio queues. Who is editing this and what are they thinking?

#5Pretty cool, but my first thought is: how authentic will communication be when "holoporting" to each other if you both have those big hololens mounted on your head? It will be hard to pick up on each other's facial expressions and impossible to look into each other's eyes.

Hololens will eventually be a contact lens. Progress is progress.

In a generation or two they'll do facial tracking. I imagine you'll get a full 3D model made of you, and it'll pick up the facial movements and transpose them onto your avatar

This is possible with current consumer-grade webcams. You'll video conference like you do today, except you'll see life-like rendered avatars of each participant. Participants with VR headsets will be able to see everyone else sitting at a table with them. If you don't have a headset, you'll see the same video conference UI you see today, just with avatars instead of video.

#9Nice "demo"...
Microsoft lately seems to be really good at being a "proof of concept developer." Which is cool and all that, but then people wait and forget why it was so cool.
As a comparison, Apple holds back their tech till it is polished and ready for market, so people are excited and start literally lining up to get whatever it is... And when they get it for the most part they aren’t disappointed, because it is pretty much exactly what was presented on stage at the show and they can show it off while its still a new shiny idea.
